Cherreads

Chapter 36 - Imparting the Cure Through Fluid

Shuchi'in Academy.

Class 1-C, first year.

Miko sat at her desk, her small, charming face clouded with worry.

"Sigh..."

Recalling the scene she had stumbled upon earlier that day in Shizuka's office during lunch, a wave of distress washed over her.

"How could the highly praised Hiratsuka-sensei, the one everyone raves about, be involved in... that?"

As a member of the Disciplinary Committee, she deeply abhorred such conduct and wished she could strictly enforce a ban on it. However, the other party was a teacher, completely out of the bounds of interference for a mere freshman like her, newly inducted into the Student Council.

"How am I supposed to face Hiratsuka-sensei now..."

"What if I've offended Hiratsuka-sensei because of this..."

Miko continued to sigh repeatedly.

Her friend, Osaragi Kobachi, noticed her demeanor and walked over in surprise.

"Miko, what's wrong? You've been sighing all afternoon. That's not like you at all."

Miko looked up at her friend's face, partially obscured by a pair of large glasses, and her cherry lips parted.

She subconsciously wanted to vent the complaints in her heart. But after contemplating the potential consequences, she bit her tongue.

'I should just pretend I didn't see anything...' Iino Miko thought to herself.

She then shook her head at Kobachi.

"It's nothing... I'm heading over to the Student Council now."

With that, she waved goodbye to Kobachi and walked toward the Student Council room.

"I wonder if Hiratsuka-sensei has finished reviewing those forms and sent them back to the Student Council..."

"If Fujiwara-senpai hadn't taken a day off today, none of this would have happened..."

Miko clutched the Student Council's financial ledger and unknowingly mused to herself as she arrived at the Student Council room.

"Huh, the door isn't closed?"

Curious, she pushed the door open. Just as she was about to speak, Kaguya's moan drifted out.

"Ngh~"

Bang!

A sound that vaguely resembled a body colliding and falling to the ground followed.

Miko's eyes widened instantly.

The scene from Shizuka's office at noon once again flashed through her mind.

Miko's mind froze again!

However, Kaguya's voice, full of pleasure, continued to reach her ears.

"Asa-kun~ You should take your clothes off first..."

"...It seems a little too big..."

"Well, it's more comfortable if it's a bit bigger, though..."

By this point, countless scenarios were playing out in Miko's head, and her pretty face flushed crimson beyond her control.

It wasn't until she saw a small head peek out and meet her gaze.

A familiar face.

It was the handsome little boy she'd seen in Shizuka's office at noon.

And now, he was with Kaguya...

Moreover, they were doing that in the sacred Student Council room...

Shuchi'in was utterly depraved!

Clatter!

The financial ledger she was holding fell to the floor.

Hearing the sound, Kaguya got up and looked at Miko in the doorway.

"Iino-san?"

"Do you want to come in and take a look?"

Miko was so startled she took a step back, waving her hands frantically.

"I... I have no experience! I'd only be in your way!"

Miko refused and quickly fled.

Kaguya watched her retreating figure, puzzled by her drastic reaction.

'I'm not going to let you see my adorable Asa-kun anytime soon...' Kaguya secretly thought to herself.

She then looked at the little boy in front of her, who had changed into the archery uniform she had prepared, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Asa-kun, do you like the gift I gave you?"

Asa looked down at the obviously custom-made archery uniform he was wearing and nodded.

"I love it!"

"Thank you, Kaguya-nee!"

At that moment, Asa surveyed the Student Council room. Come to think of it, he hadn't signed in today yet.

"I wonder if the Student Council room counts as a new location..."

Ding!

[The host signed in at the Shuchi'in Academy Student Council Room and obtained the ability [LV1. Healing Fluid].]

Unfortunately, the Student Council room was still considered part of Shuchi'in and didn't trigger a new location.

[LV1. Healing Fluid: Allows your bodily fluids, upon passing through a conduit and entering the other person's body, to possess the effect of healing the body and alleviating negative conditions.]

[Note: The higher the level, the stronger the effect. The highest level is comparable to a heavenly elixir, capable of granting eternal life.]

"The highest level can grant eternal life?"

"This ability... is pretty powerful!"

Of course, the restriction was also rather significant.

....

In the Service Club.

Seeing Asa return with an archery uniform, Yukino's eyelid twitched slightly.

"That Kaguya..."

She hadn't expected that even Kaguya, who was normally aloof to everyone and nicknamed the Ice Queen, would start giving Asa gifts.

It seemed these women's composed fronts were all fake! The moment they were alone with Asa-kun, they would pull out all sorts of sugar-coated bullets, trying to secure a position in his heart.

"If you only have one set, you won't be able to change when it gets dirty..."

"Asa-kun, let's go buy a few more archery uniforms later!"

Yukino calmly set the uniform Kaguya gave Asa aside and said with a light smile.

As long as he had enough clothes, Asa-kun definitely wouldn't care about Kaguya's single set anymore.

Hmph, she had the advantage of propinquity and could launch a strategy whenever things changed! How could the others possibly compete with her!

"The advantage is mine!"

However, plans often go awry.

Just as Yukino was preparing to leave the Service Club early with Asa to buy archery uniforms, her phone rang.

Mother.

Seeing the caller ID, Yukino froze, her expression somewhat distracted. When was the last time her mother called her? She couldn't remember.

"Calling at this time..."

Yukino hesitated for a moment before pressing connect.

"Yukino, are you and Asa-kun still at Shuchi'in?" Mrs. Yukinoshita's voice came through the phone's receiver, sounding somewhat serious.

"Mom, we're still at Shuchi'in. Is something the matter?"

"Bring Asa-kun to the school gate."

Yukino, who had just walked to the school gate while holding Asa's hand, was stunned when she heard the command.

Before she could fully react, a familiar black luxury car slowly pulled up in front of them.

The door opened, and the elegant Mrs. Yukinoshita sat in the back seat. She looked at Asa, who was holding Yukino's hand, and her narrow, beautiful eyes softened slightly.

"Get in, Asa-kun. Auntie needs to take you somewhere..."

With that, she looked at Yukino and said faintly, "Yukino, you wait a moment. Akamatsu Riho will come to take you home."

Akamatsu Riho was another governess for the Yukinoshita family.

Yukino watched as Asa got into her mother's car and was driven away, her hands clenched tightly into fists, her slender fingers turning slightly white.

Faced with Mrs. Yukinoshita's usual assertiveness, she felt somewhat powerless.

Inside the car.

Mrs. Yukinoshita held Asa close to her chest.

"Auntie Yukinoshita, where are we going?"

"The Fujiwara Family residence."

"Mrs. Fujiwara has been suffering since last night..."

Mrs. Yukinoshita's fingers moved across Asa's body as she gradually explained the whole story.
